Ch.3 Tissues – Retake

Epithelial tissue is composed of layers of cells that

• provide transportation of materials

• provide storage of energy reserves

• cover internal and external surfaces

• are involved in defense mechanisms in the body

If epithelial cells are classified according to their function, the classes would include those involved with

• support, storage, and transport

• lining, covering, and secreting

• protection, defense, and transport

• defense, support, and secreting

The three basic components of all connective tissues are

• free-exposed surface, exocrine secretions, and endocrine secretions

• fluid matrix, cartilage, and osteocytes

• specialized cells, extracellular protein fibers, and ground substance

• macrophages, cardiocytes, and fibroblasts

Which fiber type contributes strength to connective tissue?

• elastic fibers

• collagen fibers

• reticular fibers

• none of these

Which fiber type contributes resiliency to connective tissue?

• elastic fibers

• collagen fibers

• reticular fibers

• none of these

The primary function(s) of connective tissue include(s)

Select all that apply

• support and protection

• storage of energy reserves and insulation

• transportation of materials

• binding and connecting

The two types of supporting connective tissue found in the body are

• blood and dense connective tissue

• collagen and reticular fibers

• areolar and adipose

• cartilage and bone

The three types of loose connective tissue

• blood, lymph and dense connective tissue

• collagen, elastic and reticular fibers

• areolar, adipose and reticular

• tendon, cartilage and bone

The pads that lie between the vertebrae and absorb impact are made up of

• elastic fibers

• fibrocartilage

• bone

• hyaline cartilage

The type of cartilage found at the end of long bones and attaches the ribs to the sternum

• elastic fibers

• fibrocartilage

• bone
